Beyoncé accepted the Video of the Year award for her hit "Formation" at the 2016 Video Music Awards wearing a Yolan Cris gown from the designer's Spring 2017 bridal collection. The dreamy lace wedding dress, called Calamo, featured fine tulle, dramatic, Victorian-inspired sleeves, and delicate lace appliqués hand-sewn on the skirt and bodice. It marked her third look of the night. "We don't know anyone on earth more talented and powerful than Beyoncé," said the designers. "We love her values because [they] are ours, too. We are surprised and we feel lucky and blessed that she has chosen a Yolan Cris design on this special night. We're still in shock. [Congratulations to] her on winning the eight trophies."

Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza

Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza stepped out on the red carpet for the premiere of their movie Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates in white dresses that certainly fit the theme of the film!

Both of these looks would make for perfect reception or after-party dresses.
